Well, Now I Know...

Before continuing on to Letter I of The Cursive Project, I wanted to share a recent craft fail of mine. I own a really comfy pair of flip flops that I like, but the pattern was wearing off the toes and heels. Here's the "before" picture:

I use Sharpies to touch up scuffs on shoes all the time, so I figured I could use a Sharpie to draw the pattern back in, and my flip flops would be good as new. Ten minutes later, they looked like this:

Yea! Good as new! Or not, as it turns out.

I ended up waiting about a week before wearing them to Trevor's baseball game and dinner afterward. When I got home, I noticed this:

Darn. Well, now I know to limit my Sharpie-shoe-touchups to the OUTSIDE of shoes, and not the part that touches my feet. Lesson learned.
